PLOW.

Specificationof Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, \VILHELM KAsELow- SKY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county ofHennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Plow;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful plow.

A feature of the invention is the provision of simple and eflicientmeans for removably and replaceably and adjustably connecting a weedcutter to the rear curved portion of the plow beam adjacent the plow orthe mold board. In this manner the weed cutter may be adjusted more orless forwardly of the plow or mold board, in order to sever the weedsprior to turning the soil. By adjusting the weed cutter forwardly orrearwardly, and owing to the curvature of the plow beam, the angle ofthe weed cutteris varied, and by adjusting the weed cutter forwardly onthe beam, the cutter will assume a position nearer to a perpendicularline, and by adjusting the same rearwardly, taking more of the curvatureof the plow beam, the angle of the cutter will be increased. In additionto the adjustability more or less forwardly or rearwardly, the

weed cutter may also be adjusted parallel to and alined with the holderof the cutter. The invention comprises further features and combinationof parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the improvedplow constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is an enlargeddetail view showing how the weed cutter is connected to the plow beam.Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

part of the lower portionof thebifurcated end. is a hook to which anevener or equal-Y izer (not shown) may be connected, whereby the plowmay be drawn forwardly. Rising from the axle is a standard 13. Ad;

justable on the standard is a U-shaped member' 15, which is held in.adjusted positions, upon the standard by means of the collar I 16, whichis in turn secured in adjusted positions by the screw eye bolt 17,whichis adapted to engagethe standard. Swiveled or otherwise connectedat 18 to the U-shaped member 15 is a second U-shaped bracket or device19, in thearins of which an eye .bolt l 20 is arranged, which eye boltalso passes through the collar 21, which is provided with a rearwardlyprojecting arm 22. The arm 22 is bolted or otherwise secured to the plowbeam 23 between the flanges thereof. A plate 24 having an opening 25 forthe reception of a pin 26 is provided. The plate 24 is provided withlaterally extending portions 27, which are secured to the axle in anysuitable manner. Secured to the plate 24 by the pin 26 is a U-shapedlink 31, which in turn connects to the eye 32 of the rod 33.

The other end of the rod 33 is provided with an eye 34 having a link 35.This link 35 connects to a loop 36, which is secured at 37 to the plowbeam. By virtue of the rod 33 the plate 24, the link 31 and the link 35,the plow beam is reinforced relative to the axle and vice versa, andthereby forming means whereby the strain upon the axle is transferred tothe plow beam, and also acting to hold the plow beam down and file 1eplow or mold board 37 a is carried by the rear lower end of the curvedportion 38 of the plow, beam. Also secured to the curved portion 38, asat 39 are the bars 40, which terminate in the usual handles 41.

A weed cutter 42 is provided, which is arranged adjustably in the holder44 by means of the screw 45. shaped so as to hold the cutter 43, whichis adjustable parallel and in alinement with the holder. A member 46 issecured on one face of the holder, and is provided with notches 47 toreceive the flanges 48 of the plow beam. The member 46 forms an integralpart of the holder 44, but can be made separate (not shown). A staple 49arches the curved portion 38 of the plow beam and its ends enter Thisholder 44 is trough the ends of the strap 50, and threaded upontightening up the nuts 51 the holder be clamped adjustablyto the curvedportion 88 of the plow beam. It will be seen by this arrangement thatwhen the holder is adjusted forwardly on the plow beam, the cutter willassume a position nearer a perpendicular line, and when the holder isadjusted rearwardly and downwardly-on the curved portion 38 of the plowbeam, the angle of the cutter will be increased.

The invention having been set forth, what is clalmed as new and useful1s:

1. In combination with a plow beam hav', ing a rearwardly anddownwardlycurved portion provided with a plow, aholder having a member on one faceprovided with notches to receive the flanges of the plow beam, wherebythe holder may be moved concentric and adjustably on the rear curvedportion of the plow beam, a U-shaped bolt arching said member, a plateto receive the threaded arms of said U-shapedvbolt, and

recess to receive the flanges of one side of the curved portion of theplow beam, said recess having shoulders engaging said flanges of theplow beam, said recess together with the shouldersconstituting means toguide the holder when adjusted and to hold the holder in positionagainst displacement or wabbling after the holder has been adjusted tothe clejsired position, a U-shaped bolt arching the curved portion ofthe plow beam, a plate to receive the arms of said U-shaped bolt andengaging the face of the holder opposite the bulge, nuts on the threadedends of the arms of the bolt engaging said plate to clamp the holder inposition, said holder at its lower forward end having overhangingflanges .upon the face opposite the bulge forming a trough gulde, acolter ad ustable in the trough guide, and means passlng through andcarried by the lower end of the holder to hold the colter in adjustedposition in the gu de.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification 1n thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
